Estimate Your Carbon Emissions
Railroads are the most fuel-efficient means of ground transportation, and combined with our efforts to further reduce emissions, we can help our supply chain partners reduce their own carbon footprints to create meaningful global change. Transporting by rail consumes three to four times less fuel than moving the same shipment on the highway.
Enhanced Emission Data for Customers
Union Pacific has enhanced its Scope 3 reporting with a new methodology that offers customers more frequently reported and granular Scope 3 emissions data for their shipments. This enables customers to more accurately identify lanes and shipments where they can minimize their shipment-related Scope 3 GHGs by choosing Union Pacific over truck transportation. Customers can request customized data directly from their sales representative.
Safely and Sustainably Ship Carbon by Rail
Union Pacific Railroad provides a safe, sustainable and cost-effective way to ship carbon by rail. Tank cars hold nearly 80 metric tons of CO2, which offers the perfect solution for businesses. CO2, which is compressed into a liquid-like substance prior to shipping, is an inert, non-flammable gas, which railroads have a long history of safely transporting.
